Great video, I believe the order of washers on vent window is incorrect. fibre (plastic) washers should be on either side of bracket. As well the channel guide goes in easier if you cut all but chrome edge a couple of times in the corner to allow bend to happen. I screwed up my first set as well.
I’m working on a 1961 F100 flareside, found this info helpful. Can you post a link to the 40-minute video you mentioned that walked you through all the door disassembly and assembly? I got the replacement window channel and I cannot find any explanation of how you take the roughly five feet of straight channel and correctly bend it to go inside the door! LMC gives no instructions and there doesn’t seem to be anything on TH-cam for how to do this.
The channel is Rudy's Resurrection - Episode 15: th-cam.com/video/hlhRM3zIqzc/w-d-xo.html What I found was that I just gently and slowly bent the channel by hand to shape. Key words being 'gently' and 'slowly'. Take your time. As you bend it, the wires at either side will start to extend at the end of the channel. That's fine. Cut them flush once you have it bent to shape. I am in no way affiliated with Rudy - don't know him except through his videos. I think the next video in my series I touch on the sequence that I used as I assembled the other window hardware. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The window channel does not want to go back in. The round tabs on the top fight you every inch of the way.
